Handicapped Accessible
Cell door #3 in the maximum security side of the West Virginia State Penitentiary. The story I was told was that a inmate came to the prison in a wheelchair, because the maximum security side was not accessible for someone in a wheelchair he was placed in the minimum security side, after a few years of being a jerk to every employee of the prison one day the guards were fed up with him, a cutting torch and welder were dispatched to the maximum security side and the doorway was modified so as to make the cell accessible, by the end of the day he inmate was in his new residence. Rumor has it when he was released they wheeled him out the front door and he stood up from his chair, to everyones suprise he had never been handicapped at all. The Prison is now a retired, gothic style prison located in Moundsville, WV. It operated from 1876 to 1995. It closed after a riot broke out in 1988 resulting in the deaths of 3 inmates and exposing the facility to the fact that it was not designed for what had become modern day criminals.
120 second exposure, protomachines set to green, aquamarine, white and a little orange.
